Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Jülich is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield on the obverse (front) side and a cross on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of William II, who was the Duke of Jülich from 1361 to 1393. The use of a crowned shield and cross on the coin was a common motif in medieval coinage and symbolized the duke's power and authority.
